rezone land to which the Policy applies for general industrial, infrastructure and environmental conservation purposes

Draft Infrastructure Plan

The Draft Infrastructure Plan provides a basis for contributions towards subregional infrastructure and biodiversity offsets to facilitate development of the Warnervale Town Centre, and should be read in conjunction with the draft SEPP.

Biodiversity Certification Report

The Department of Planning is seeking for the Minister for the Climate Change, Environment and Water to confer biodiversity certification of the draft SEPP under section 126G of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The Minister can biodiversity certify an environmental planning instrument if he is satisfied that it will lead to the overall improvement or maintenance of biodiversity values.
